The Parish of St Martin will be holding a parish by-election on Wednesday 11 March 2026 for a Douzenier and two cemetery committee members.
The Douzenier will finish the term of Laurence Hill-Tout who has resigned (term ends Dec 2027).
Completing a term is a good way to test the water before standing for a full four-year term at a future election.
St Martin’s currently has three women Douzeniers out of a total of 12. See list of Douzeniers.
If you’re interested, pop into the Constables Office at the Parish Hall to find out more and ask for a nomination form – or call 238363. Nomination forms must be returned by 4pm on Monday 2 March. The nomination form just needs the signatures of two people who are on the electoral roll in St Martin’s.
The election is due to be held at a parish meeting in the St Martin’s Parish Hall at 7pm on Wednesday 11 March 2026.
There’s a full description of the roles of Douzenier and Constable here – including videos.
The parish election process is explained in this guide to the 2025 elections here.
Feel free to get in touch with us if we can help in any way – hello@womeninpubliclife.gg.
Closed at 4pm on Monday 2 March 2026.
